Léandre Omeir has become a certified international coach and is introducing the Wim Hof method in France. He suggests discovering the capacity of the human body to adapt to extreme temperatures to increase the immune system and reduce stress.
After several training sessions in extreme cold with Wim Hof, a Dutchman nicknamed "the ice man" with 21 Guinness world records, Léandre Omeir teaches the discipline in Saint-Genest-Lerpt (42) by combining breathing techniques, exposure to polar cold (ice bath) and mental strength exercises.
"Performance is knowing yourself from the inside out because to feel is to understand." Léandre Omeir.
This practice, used in particular by athletes during physical recovery, is being used by the general public for its anti-inflammatory and mental health properties. The combination of a unique breathing technique and the confrontation with extreme climatic conditions allows to reinforce the immune system through the production of adrenaline (études scientifiques disponibles) and reduce stress. According to the principles of hormesis, practicing this discipline linked to surpassing oneself also has beneficial effects on the mind.
